The Wine
You couldn’t hope to find Sauvignon of this quality for the price in any of the Loire’s more famous regions like Sancerre or Pouilly. Blended from the year’s finest vats, this remarkable wine is as subtle and complex as it is refreshing and zingy. It’s made exclusively for us by our trusty friend Franck Chatelain at Noël Bougrier’s renowned cellar in the Touraine. The original Abbesse was one Louise de Bourbon at the nearby Abbaye de Fontevraud and a major figure in Loire history. This delicious expression of the region’s ‘reigning’ grape, Sauvignon Blanc, is a fitting tribute to her. With appealing, crisp, lemony fruit and zippy freshness, it’s delicious on its own and goes ever so well with goat’s cheese and lighter fish dishes.
